Since WikiLeaks, the organization he founded, sensationally uploaded hundreds of thousands of files of classified information to the internet, Julian Assange has lived his life in different forms of incarceration. It‘s probably safe to say he could never have imagined how long it would last. In our divisive and contested times, he has become one of the world‘s most famous fugitives, a political prisoner with British and US law enforcement, in hot pursuit.

In this new documentary so deftly directed by Ben Lawrence and produced by Assange‘s half-brother, Gabriel Shipton, we get the measure of the toll it is taking on the man.
